Being in a highly interdisciplinary field, we have much to share about how we can navigate the changes around us. We will see technological and demographic shift, and we ourselves will change over time. A large population vulnerable to cyber-threat are not in that position because their passwords were hacked, but because of their belief in the internet, may it be fake news or bot-accounts.

He has published five scientific monographs, three on cyberwarfare, and more than 60 other scientific publications on cybersecurity. Sandro is an Oxford Martin School Fellow, a program committee member of Harvard-MIT’s annual conference series on cyber defense and cyber norms, a Senior Advisor for the AI Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School, co-lead “Programme Transverse Sécurité Défense, Sec. Cybersecurity” at elite French university CNAM, an EastWest Senior Fellow, a Senior Fellow of the German Council on Foreign Relations, a member of the Conversation Circle Intelligence Services in Germany, and an IEEE permanent reviewer. As an advisor to the German government, he developed the German foreign cyber policy strategy, testified numerous times in German parliament, and conducted many parliamentary dialogues. He was instrumental in bringing about the German chancellory’s German-Chinese No-Spy agreement, in the White House USTR’s effort to mitigate industrial espionage, and in IAEA and G8 efforts to control nuclear cybersecurity. In cyber military affairs, Sandro served as part of the German MoD’s cyber defense white book process, and moderated interdepartmental cyber coordination efforts. He serves as an expert witness in NATO military cyber counterintelligence cases, and as director in NATO’s SPS program, which develops and implements national cyberdefense strategies and technologies in the Middle East region. As an industrial advisor, Sandro has conducted nine major industry studies, ranging from smartgun and semiconductor component security assessments to strategic industry development issues. He advises large German cyber investors such as ammer!partners and Allianz ventures, developed Allianz’s cyber risk assessment methodology, and produced a buyer’s guide for the German DIHK and SME community, which lists 120 external criteria to assess the security quality of an IT-product. Sandro also founded the high assurance security company SECURE ELEMENTS Ltd., which offers impenetrable embedded systems and highly secure execution environments. Devoted to an open discourse and public enlightenment, he writes frequent op-eds in leading German newspapers like Handelsblatt, FAZ, Süddeutsche, and DIE ZEIT, and he comments regularly on cyber matters on mainstream media outlets such as Tagesschau, Heute, NTV, N24, CNN, BBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, The Economist, The Guardian, The Times, Wired, Vanity Fair, and Al Jazeera.</p> <a class="page-anchor" id="posters"></a> <h3>Posters</h3> <P> poster viewing will be in the Foyers room on Wednesday 5:20-7:00 PM during the main VIS power session</P> <ul> <li>Doing User Behaviour Analytics through Interactive Visual User Profiles <em>by Phong H.

VizSec provides an excellent venue for fostering greater exchange and new collaborations on a broad range of security- and privacy-related topics. VizSec will be held in <strong>Berlin, Germany</strong> in conjunction with <a href="http://ieeevis.org/">IEEE VIS</a>, on <strong>Monday, October 22nd, 2018.</strong> </p> <p> VizSec explores effective and scalable visual interfaces for security domains such as network security, computer forensics, reverse engineering, insider threat detection, cryptography, privacy, user assisted attacks prevention, compliance management, wireless security, secure coding, and penetration testing. </p> <p> VizSec solicits both full and short papers, both of which will be published in the proceedings that will be published by IEEE. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference. </p> <h4>Technical Papers</h4> <p> Full papers describing novel contributions in security visualization are solicited. Papers may present techniques, applications, theory, analysis, experiments, or evaluations. We encourage the submission of papers on technologies and methods that improve cyber security practices, including, but not limited to: </p> <ul> <li>Situation awareness and/or understanding</li> <li>Incident handling including triage, exploration, correlation, and response</li> <li>Computer forensics</li> <li>Recording and reporting results of investigations</li> <li>Assisting proactive security configuration and deployment</li> <li>Reverse engineering and malware analysis</li> <li>Vulnerability management</li> <li>Multiple data source analysis</li> <li>Analyzing information requirements for computer network defense</li> <li>Evaluation and/or user testing of VizSec systems</li> <li>Criteria for assessing the effectiveness of cyber security visualizations (whether from a security goal perspective or a human factors perspective) </li> <li>Modeling system and network behavior</li> <li>Modeling attacker and defender behavior</li> <li>Studying risk and impact of cyber attacks</li> <li>Predicting future attacks or targets</li> <li>Security metrics and education</li> <li>Software security</li> <li>Mobile application security</li> <li>Social networking privacy and security</li> </ul> <br/> <p> When applicable, visualization and interaction techniques that effectively capture the insights of human analysts and/or allow analysts to collaborate efficiently are particularly desirable. </p> <p> Submissions including tests and evaluations of existing tools and techniques are also considered particularly desirable. If possible, making the data used for the tests available will also be considered positively. If you do not have real-world data to demonstrate your visualization, you may be interested in looking at the <a href="/data/">VizSec Data Sets</a> page. </p> <h4>Short Papers</h4> <p> Short papers describing practical applications of security visualization are solicited. We encourage the submission of papers discussing the introduction of cyber security visualizations into operational context, including, but not limited to: </p> <ul> <li>Cases where visualization made positive contributions towards meeting operational needs</li> <li>Gaps or negative outcomes from visualization deployments</li> <li>Situations where visualization was not utilized, but could have had a positive impact</li> <li>Lessons learned from operational engagements</li> <li>Insights gained from the transition process</li> </ul> <p> <br/> Cyber security practitioners from industry, as well as the research community, are encouraged to submit case studies. </p> <h4>Posters</h4> <p> Poster submissions may showcase late-breaking results, work in progress, preliminary results, or visual representations relevant to the VizSec community. The poster program will be a great opportunity for the authors to interact with the attendees and solicit feedback. Accepted poster abstracts will be made available on the VizSec website. </p> <a class="page-anchor" id="awards"></a> <h3>Awards</h3> <p> There will be an award for the best paper from the accepted program. This award will be given to the paper judged to have the highest overall quality as determined by the program committee. Key elements of the selection process include whether papers include evaluation, repeatable results, and open-source data or software. Both full and short papers are eligible. </p> <p> Thanks to the generous support of <a href="https://www.twosixlabs.com/">Two Six Labs</a>, the best paper awardee will receive a $100 Amazon gift card! </p> <a class="page-anchor" id="submissions"></a> <h3>Submissions</h3> <p> The VizSec 2018 proceedings will be published by IEEE. Submissions must be formatted using the IEEE "Conference Style" template that can be found at: </p> <p> <a href="http://junctionpublishing.org/vgtc/Tasks/camera.html">http://junctionpublishing.org/vgtc/Tasks/camera.html</a> </p> </p> <p> All submissions must be in PDF format. </p> <p> <a href="https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions"> https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions</a> </p> <p> After logging in, click the submissions link on the top navigation bar.
